EDGEFIELD I-1I
THURSDAY, JAXUARY'V' 1840.
According to thiw ruleitabiihled by ed
itors and p)blishersenerally, we w&ill
hereafter charge anlttlices, recommenad
ing candidates fhrdll offices of profit, or
trust, as advcrtiemtents.
The Cour: of Common Pleas conm
menced its extra session at this place, on
31onday, the 27th inst., Judge Earle presi

COTTON-.-We regret to state, that late
accounts from Liverpool sld lavre, say
that the Cotton market is still declining.
We omitted to deknowledge in our last,
the receipt of sveral papers and documeurs
from the Hon. F. W. Pickens.
We have also received from him several
Washington papers.
We have received from the Hon. Wad
dy Thompson. a copy of his speech, "On
the President's Annual Message."
THE CLOs. Or THE VoLUM.-The
'present numtber -completes the 4th Volume
"of ihe Edgeflield Advertiser. We return
our sincere thanks to those putictual sub
scribers, who have taken our paper for
some years past. We ha-ve labored 'un
ceasingly for their edifleation and amuse
-ment, and we hope not altogether in vain.
We have furnished them, in our columns,
with many good State Rights documents
and speeches, Agricultural essa-ys, 'selec
-tions of foreign and domestic new's, mis-.
cellatieous articles. communication's n all
sorts of subjects. and last and least of all,
'our own editorials. We are grarefal 'for
'former patronage, (as the'inerchants ray,)
-and hope for a comt inuance of the saie.
To that numerous class, % ho. so far a
we arc concerned, have suspended specie
payments, bank note payments, skin plaster
payments, pgyment it their own riotcs. 6r
any kind ofpayAents, *hat shall we say ?
The argument with them, is almost ex
:hausted. We have appealed to then.,
entreated them,-coaxed them; we have
done every thing, but threatened them.
Doubtless. many of them say, " It is vast
3y indelicate in you, Mr. editor, to he con
tioually aiviii such broad hints to yOur
subscribers ! We will cease to take your
.paper, if you dont mend your manners !"
We admit that there is some indeteccy in
asking payment of money due. Bat our
-ereditors waive all ceremony with regard
to us. and we must do likenise, towards
'our debtors. If these last mentioned per
s'mns will now pay the several sums, which
they owe us, we will, like good Christians,
forgive them for their past offentces to
wards us, and will cheerfulfy commence
uew accutAs with 'tiem.
in bori ne't v6lume, e will publish the
ino-t import ani Acts paseed during the la'e
Session of the Legislature.
The Act to raise Supplies foi' the par
1839-The facts int thte statemeLnt below arc
furnishe'd us, by, an i n'telligentt gent lematn,
in it honm perfect conltdence cant he placed.
The Conmpt roller Genei-a's tnotice to) the
Tax Collectors and other officers, int rela
tiont to thte kind of monmey, to he received
in paymetnt of Tax'es, we understand has
produced sotre excitement in the 'commt
mity. The clause of the Tax Act of thle
labt session, requiting the taxes to lbe paid
" in specie, paper meditimt, 'o- the hnotes of
specie paying bac~ks, of this state," is j'ult
the same as lhas been in every tax act for the
last twenty years; and a isomnent's reflec
tion will satisfy any one, thtat a majority
of the Hlotts of Represtatatives, cubiid hot
contsistently htave votedl to dis.pense with
'such a r' qutisitionznow. That 'i-ach oif
the Letgislature,'had passed, with grea:
unanitmiity, a bill to cotmpel lh'e suspeunded
banks to resumte specie paymnents, and af
ter thet fadultre of that hneasdre in the Sen
ate, the llottse cotld ntot, with a'ny propri
ety, have sanctibn' d thte suspension .Iflpe
cie payments orn ite part of those banks,
by direting the Tax Collecelis lo i-ceiv'e
'their bills.
The State Bank and its bratnches, the
Bank of Chairleston, thte CominIt ael
Bank of dolumbia, the Camdien imhk,
the Batik of Cherao , and perhaps the
Hiambutrg Bank, htave not suspended, so
ihat thte dificeulty of procutrihig titoibey,
wtith whtich to pay our taxes, will niot ite
so great we hope as one' wvould at first,
sutppose. Besides, wie trutst, that be'fire shte
time of c'ollectiont, the other banks of the
State. will hauve resumed.*
We understand also, tifat some misap
prehentsiont exists, in relation to the tax on
Jltnds. Some suppose that the tax of "30
cents ad valorem, ott every httn-'re dollars
of the value of all landus t"ranted ini this
State,"' is a tax of I0 c'ent. on every htun
tired dollars of the real vatlue. But those
who put suc'h a construtctiotn upont the act,
entirely forget that int 1815, atn act wvas
passed classifying all thte iattds in the State,
and thast the tax imposed, is itt referetnce to
the v'alue of thee lttnd, accordlingt to tinge
classification; there is no alterationt of the

except on Brokeraze. That body did not

GENEIAL HARRISON ON SLAVJa.-As
much has been said about i he opinions of
(jeneirAl lIlarri-1n1, on Slavery. we have
thought it but jut to make the,11'lowing
extract from an Address delivered by him,
t Vincennes, Indiana, two years since.
With regard to the present relations (if
Genaeral l1anison towals ahe ahulijion
i-ts, % e are niot sat.-tactorily intorumed, as
varione statemlen-4 on this subject have
been published. Jaome of ahe lading ah
1lition paper< denounce his iomination.
The Chole-4.n Courier, an Administra
tion paper, considers him at present, sound
f.m the'question of slavery. But h1is o)in
ions on top subject, generally, if he has not
been mi'sr.-ireseau-d, are far froi being
satisfactory.
1 insist that if the citizens of tlie 'n'n
slave-holding 'taaes can avail themselves
of the article of the Constitution, which
prohibits the restriction of speech, or the
press to publish any thin::, injurious to the
rights .f the Slaveholding States, that
they can go to the extreme that I have
mention.i, and effect any thintg further
which writing or speaking could effect.
But, fellow-citizens, these are not the prin
cipies of the , Constiution. Such a con.
struction would defeat ione of the great
objects of its formatsion, which was that of
securing the pence and harmony of the
States, which vere'parties to it. The lih
erty of speeeb and of the press, were given
as the most efflctual nienns to preserve to
eah and 'everv citizen their.bwn rights,
and t.) the States, the rights which apper
tained to then, at the time of their adop
tion. It could never have been expected
that it would he used by the citizens of one
portion of the States, for the pirpoze of
depriving ihose c'f ani'her p6rtion, of the
rights which thev had reserved at the a
delption of the Consiitution, and in the ex
e-rcisc Jf which. none but thremselves have.
any concein or interesi. If slavery is an
evil, the evil is n% ith rhen. If there is
Euilt in it, the guilt it theirs, 6ot'hurs,'since
neither the States where it does not exist.
nor the Government of the United Stntes
can, without usurpation of power, and the
violation of a solermn cottipact, do anything
to remove it without tlie consent of those
who are immediately interested. it
they will neither ask thr aid, nor consent
to be aided whilst the illegal. persecuting
and dangerous movements are in progress.
of which I complain; the interest of all
coucerned, requires that these should be
stopped inimnediately. This-ckan only be
done by the force of public opinion, arid
that cantiot too soon be brought into ope
ration. Every movertoent which is made
by the abolitionaists in the non-slaveholdiig
States, is viewed by our Southern breth
ret, as an attack upon their rights, and
which, if forei-tod in, must in the end,
eradicate those leelings of attnchient and
A'e-tion between the ciaizens of all the
States which was produced by a commu
itly ofioteresis and daiers in the War of
theRevolutiou, which was the fionilation
of our happy union. nnid hv i contlinance
of which, it can alone he'prceerved. I en
treat yon then, to Crown upon the neas
nares which are to produce results so mntteh
to be deprecated. The opinions w hich I
have now aiven, I have 0-itted no oppor
nuit~y for the last two years to lay before
the paeople of miy owtn State. I have ta

OBITUARY.
"Death has been busy at his appointed ork."
The Rev. R. M. Todd, whose death.
was announced in this paper of last week,
ias born in Virgiid,'in the year 1774.
and died in this State, on the 15th instant,
need 66 years. Until the age of 31, Alr.
TodId had etnioved very linited opporiuni
ties of iniellectualimprovenent. At thi-'
period, the writer of this article had ithe
satisfaction of making his first acquaint

he was desirous of acquiring a more ex
tensive faind of knowledne, than it had
been his privilege io'conpass. On being
proposed to the General Committee of
Churches in the Charlesoon Baptist Asso
eintion. he was accepted as a Beneficiary,
ani-I entered upon a course of sindy, in
which he mate respectable proficiency.
On the termination of this course, He de
vired himself more fully to the work of
the Ministry. In this great work, he oc
cupied, severtal important sthtili. dis
labors were owned by the Head *of the
Church, and many, it is believed, will be
found in-the last day, nimbered with the
redeemed of the Lord, as seals to his Min
istry. About twenty years since, Mr.
Toid entered into the marriage relation
with a lady, one of .the thost amiable and
pious of ier'sex. T wo daughters, the re
suit of this conexion, remain, to comfort
the aillieed heart of their widowed mother.
-it wds tire pri'vilege of their honored father
to knmw that thw' elist 6f theie dedr'ilil
dren had put on Christ by baptism.
For several years previous to his death
Mr. Todd had been afflicted with a piilirio
nary con plaint. Its violence increased up
onl hum, to such .'n extent, for some time
belure he died, 'thht it ihrew him into a
long contittine'd, anil painful illness. This
illness he bore i ith the meekness and for

For he eat not the bread of idlenesq. But
